Serong maybe?

Trac wants out. Wants to get to the Pies

I agree - I was pretty excited about him but have watched him closely over the last 5 or 6 weeks and it's all a bit meh.

I know the Hawks believe he is a midfielder being played out of position at the Giants but we don’t need another mid sized defender that is for sure!!!!

The pies minus whatever it takes to add Petracca may not contend for a decade.

Hope it happens. 15 players over 30 soon

 

[The hands of stone]

Theres an A grader in there with Rachele. Just needs to figure it out and have a proper coach.

Should probably focus on performing before he picks at oppo supporters prior to games IMO

Dees hold he whip hand re: Petracca
Doubt the Dees would entertain any offers. Other than give us N.Daicos which would never happen

And Collingwood don’t even have a first rounder as gave it up for Schultz.

Did you have a stroke?

Just saying we need 1 more a grade mid enough evidence without day

 

[Hawkers Hero]

Today did nothing to stop me thinking Barrass and Battle are 100% needed.

We were bullied in the air today by a historically bad team.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

This Platten44/Stratton24 vs BIGHAWK23 ITK beef is laughable.

Give over will you guys, both of you got big calls wrong (just like the rest of us).

Spot on. It is our main weakness , and we can solve it instantly. Our game goes to another level with those inclusions. We will become even more attacking, as will have the confidence that a turnover can be covered, or if a team decides to switch game plans like Richmond did today that we can adjust.

There is surely no way they can pull that deal off with no 2024 first rounder.

Today was an eye opener to the benefit of adding a couple of quality key position defenders to our team.. Sicily gets out marked a lot.. Almost weekly.. his intercept play is best in league calibre but his defence has been poor this year.. It’s tough for Frost given his year to step aside but Frost, Battle, Barrass, Scrim and Sic doesn’t work.. If I were Frost and North or someone offered me three years I’d take a look.. Interesting off season ahead for sure..

They don't have the capital. Their future first would be worth jack shit (if they get Petracca)

 

[KermitJagger]

Another thing to add to the BS around Barrass' 1:1 stats this year. An admittedly pretty well beaten Sic has been marked as 4 1:1s with 0 losses in that game against Richmond.

Doesn't matter how much he wants to go there it wont happen, they have no trade currency for him.

Looking into my crystal ball, I see Frost playing on the wing at Box Hill next year. The 19 year old kid playing on him is waving to the bench to come off.

10 beer deep type of stroke by sounds of it

I'm all for us chasing Barrass + Battle but Sic is only playing like his is now because that shoulder can pop out at any moment and is just nursing himself throughout the season. After his reco he'll be back to his old self so I'm not worried by him.

Vomit.

His tackling technique highlights this, will not extend his arms. Kinda looks like an action figure.

Barrass plays out of the Goal Square - he doesn't generally lockdown a specific opponent. He intercept marks deep or he spoils - he doesn't effectively chase his opponent around on the lead or defensively run 50m to fill space.

Adding Barrass complements Frost (like Lake + Frawley were complementary) - you'd not replace one with the other.

We can try to turn Battle into a lockdown defender - replacing Frost - but it's not his natural game.

I agree - anyone Frost's age would have to look at job security (3yrs) when his current deal expires in 1x year (end 2025), but his body of work as a lockdown KPD is heaps better than Battle's.
